New York Court of Appeals

Luther Stowell v. . Calvin T. Chamberlain, Impleaded

March 23, 187560 N.Y. 272

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment, holding that the earlier suit was not a bar under res judicata because it was decided on a demurrer to the complaint and did not resolve the property issue, and because the causes of action were not identical such that the same evidence would support both actions.
